against coming good job
We did a good job of coming back against a very good ballclub.
bat coming early grips looks stage swing until
I don't find myself coming to grips with doing things like that at this early stage until we see him swing the bat and see what he looks like.
admire appreciate coming demeanor gear guy hell improve nine players shown takes talk work
For a guy to come in here and work to improve his versatility, to put on that catcher's gear ... I admire that. I had a 15-minute talk with him, and I told him so. Like I told him, it takes a hell of a lot more than nine players to win. ... I appreciate the demeanor he's shown coming into this camp.
changes coming guys point program spring training
You need the other guys now. I don't want spring training to get stale. With the other guys coming in, the program changes somewhat. We're at the point now where they are needed.

Coming out of Spring Training, I thought we'd score some runs. We've scored 20 runs in the last three days and haven't won a game.
ball bunt coming contact drive guy hitter outfield perfect pitches run
He had two perfect pitches to bunt. That's the guy you want up there to get the bunt down. You get the bunt down, it makes them have to make decisions. And we had a guy coming up who's a contact hitter who can drive the ball to the outfield to drive the run in.

He is really coming along. He's been really good.
arm coming elbow hitter leads lower pitches pitching slot supposed swing throwing
His (left) elbow is lower than it should be and he's not pitching like he's coming off a slope. At times, his arm was where it was supposed to be ... but his inconsistency with his arm slot is what leads him to throwing pitches that no major-league hitter would swing at.
coming
I really feel like I'm coming back to my roots,
against best game
We were pitched to death. It's the best game that's been pitched against us all year.

What takes place between the pitcher's mound and behind the plate is vitally important to the success of a major-league team. I think Ryan is realizing that more every day.
dominated
We got pitched to death. He dominated the game.
good mind signed
I've never signed up for anything with the thought in mind that I wanted to be mediocre. I feel pretty good about it.
careful game hitting hurting intention people seen start
I've never seen Curt Schilling go out and start a game with the intention of hurting people. But if you start hitting people in the head... you need to be very careful of that.
